Trip Report Soon it will just be two of us - A very unique Max Trip Report

Hello to all of my WDWMagic friends

For those that did not notice I am back now from an extended absence from the boards even though @Tuvalu did her best to keep me engaged
The reason for the disappearing act was a very special (and time consuming) event
So we start this report with a wonderful trip down the aisle...

Stephanie and Jordan got married!!!

The venue was a (very) local golf course (5 min drive from our house)
Both the ceremony and reception were in the same room

Pictures at the house - Cassie was the maid of honour

The grooms people were (left to right) a combination of Jordan's brother Evan, his best man is his best friend from high school( also named Jordan!) , his two close friends from University (Maria and Roshni) and Cassie's BF Shane

This one was just before the walk down the aisle - I held it together - no blubbering at all!

When you spend a small fortune on a wedding you get a front row seat!!!

Sorry about the delay! You’d think Canadians could deal with a little snow...

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Sorry about the delay. I hope you make it there soon and have a great time once you get there.

That’s brutal! Light snow WOULD cause delays at the Toronto airport Tricia still looks like she’s having fun though! Just be glad you don’t have a 4, 3, 2, and 1 year old along with you like we do!

Max, I love the wooden carved Native-inspired pieces, behind you and your wife, at the Vancouver Airport!

Congrats to the bride and groom!

And safe travels on the last leg of your travel.

Congratulations to the bride and groom! Safe travels!

Light snow in Vancouver always equals delays...you would think Toronto would have winter figured out by now...

Finally back in the Great White North

in the shuttle van now heading home

Tricia flew home last Sunday
I spent this past week in San Diego and Tijuana Mexico

DLR was great and I will start to add the details over the next few days

I will give you one teaser picture for now

Day 1 - Travel to LA via Calgary (and Vancouver??)
So we started off with our first "ride" of the day being a taxi to the Toronto airport
This was new because we normally park and fly
But with this being a Personal/Business trip I was allowed a shuttle service to and from the airport
We picked taxi so that Tricia could ride for free

As per the previous post we were delayed into Calgary and had to take an additional flight to Vancouver
We ate lunch at a burger spot.

Our second ride of the day was this cute little internal shuttle inside the Calagary airport

Snow on the ground in Calgary

Moose Selfie ( even I am not crazy enough to do this with a real moose)

Once in Vancouver we found a wine bar for "dinner" at 3 pm

This is the sports bar in the airport - Note: I am not a fan of the Canucks hockey team but being from Canada I am a Canuck!!

And below is something I had to take a picture of
This "vessel" is the Vancouver answer for where moms are supposed to go to with their new borns
Here you go - use this window less box right next to a boarding gate
Way to be progressive Vancouver!!!

We eventually boarded the plane for LAX

Third airplane seat selfie of the day!

The sunset from the plane looked cool so I took a pic

At LAX we use a shuttle service (thanks to @ajrwdwgirl for the advice) that included a grocery store stop.

Arrived at our hotel around 7:30pm and got settled

Next up: Canadian Resident Tickets - will it go smoother this time???

Those nursing "boxes" are popping up a lot around here lately too (Buffalo).

Here's the thing, though -- that box is infinitely better than potentially dealing with loud, crazy airports (I know my daughter vastly preferred quiet and soothing, as did I!), or worse -- restrooms (yuck).

Can't wait to see the rest of your TR -- I miss Disneyland!!

 

[Swissmiss]

I’m curious: are mothers EXPECTED to use the nursing box, or is it there for women who are not comfortable breastfeeding their baby in public? While it never bothered me to breastfeed my child in public, I did know some mothers who weren’t as comfortable with the idea.
